Apple has approved the iPhone/iPod app ‘Drum Kits’, by Makayama. Drum Kits is the first programmable drum machine with 160 mixable tracks and a completely new approach to rhythm composition.
It allows you to compose beats and patterns by touching dots on the screen. It turns your iPhone or iPod into a drum sequencer and recording studio. Just by tapping on the screen, you create a drum beat. You have 16 banks, up to 160 tracks, from 40 to 200 BPM. It contains 50 sample rhythms, such as hiphop, drum&bass, disco, jazz, salsa, merengue, techno, house, and so on.
It has 16 different sampled drum kits on board, rock, techno, drum&bass, break beats, jazz, brush, hiphop and many more. Looks like an easy to use music rhythm composition tool that let’s anyone create drum patterns – schweet!. The app is $3.99/2.99 EUR after a 3-day free trial period.

Ben Robinson
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
